@ Ian, Hi Ian, i will try and take them to work and get them scanned, some points in the instructions are worth while knowing from a users perspective as there are some quirky oddities with the operational use of the machine. I am sure the GEC Double Plus design was based on a european...

Hi Mick, As per our previous email conversation hopefully you can get it cleaned up and post some pics, would be good to see one. As i previously mentioned, i can get a copy of the instructions if you need them, there is quirky things that the user must know before operating. Cheers Keith

Evening All, Has anyone got any infomation on this Bosch Semi-automatic twin tub from 1962. What were the keyplates functions, pre-wash - wash - rinse ? Any info would be great. Thanks

Hey Austin, Great Servis Mk1 there, always liked to Sky Blue out of all the Servis colours :) here’s mine in the same blue but cream base colour option. Cheers Keith

Hi Ian, Arhhh right, kind of looks like it would go that way. Im not good on working out dates from serial numbers, but March 68” sounds about right. The 4151 i am sure is early 70’s ? It would be great to find a 1420 but may just have to be a paper dream, who knows :) Cheers

Hi Mike / Darren, I think the EE Liberator has to be one of the stylish twin tubs, the attention to details is vast, from Brush filtering to the extra refinements for example the "cotton real" cord protector to the spin hose guard on the back panel. I guess the 1420 would be the exception to...

1420 v Liberator.... Hi Darren, I was going to say, i bet it you look where the filter clean nozzle sits on the wash deck, i bet there is a cut out for it, the top surround is basically a 1400/1420. I bet under that long washing guide panel there is the sudz return hole in the metal...

Hi Ian, Interesting information that comes out of these discussions, i just had a look at some of the information I have and it looks like the EE “Twin Star” was launched in 1964, although I believe there were earlier versions. In all the brochures & literature it was on sale the same time as...

Morning Mike, Umm good question, I would have thought the 1420 came first (1964/5) and then when the merger happened between GEC/AEI/English Electric (1967/68) that's when EE could have acquired any left over machine parts from the old Hotpoint Supermatic 1400. Hotpoint restyled the...

Hi Mike, I guess there are a few around when I think about it, you just don't see that many come up on Ebay, in the 19 years I have been on Ebay I can only say I have only ever seen a few ever come up. Any preference to drum type ? Copper or Rislan (blue coating)I do like the duck egg blue...

Afternoon Walter, Hotpoint first introduced the Filter clean action when the original Supermatic was launched in 1959, with regards to the access panel on the spinner side I believe this first came out on the 1420 Hotpoint Supermatic - consumers obviously found small garments slipping between...

Hi Mike, Great Spin Dryers - classy !! I am surprised there aren't more around, I have never seen one in Blue, Green or Turquoise like the advert states, although when my mum first saw one I took home many, many moons ago she said my dad's mum had one in blue. Also, the De-Luxe models hardly...

Hi Mike, Luv Darren’s English Electric Liberator Twin, really like the slightly raised wash control deck and the ribbed wash & spin lids. Nice one !! Cheers

Crumbs - thats just round the corner from my mum in Fleet 👍

@Louis/Kik Hi Louis, Just flicking through the archives and wondered did you ever upload the Fuchsware washer in action, great to see :)it looks very similar to our UK version made by English Electric - Reversomatic Super 484 Regards Keith

@anthony Afternoon Anthony, Great to hear the first hand experience of the Frigidaire Jetamatic washer, on that subject my Mastertwin has independent wash and spin motors. The whole machine is an square-ish oval shape with worktop to match. As you said basically a Rolls washer side with a...

Frigidaire Jetamatic

Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads... I am sure I once saw an episode with Thelma - Brigit Forsyth in a kitchen with a Frigidaire Jetamatic.. Cheers

Hi Steve, Hotpoint did some good marketing material at that time :) I sold one of those Frigidaire leaflets a while ago as it didn’t have much on washers..you might have been the lucky buyer :) lol Cheers Keith Ps. Getting there slowly with the 1504 - bowl & clamp support next on the list.

Hi Walter, I think the Empress went on till about 1974 Regards
